2017 Honda Civic vs 2017 Kia Forte near Washington, DC

There are plenty of reasons why you need a compact sedan in your life, but choosing the right one out of many options in this segment can sometimes be a struggle. Thanks to our competition between the 2017 Honda Civic vs 2017 Kia Forte near Washington, DC, this decision will be much easier. Test drive the Civic and explore more of its capabilities when you visit Honda of Chantilly today!

When you’re looking to cruise down the Anacostia Freeway, the 2017 Civic won’t fail you with its standard cruise and optional adaptive cruise functionality, complete with steering wheel-mounted controls for optimal handling. The Forte only offers cruise controls as an available feature without integrating them on its base trim. Thanks to standard map lights, the Civic is ready to take you on that family road trip, even if you have to drive through the night. The Forte only offers map lights as an optional integration on higher trims. Though you might have to look elsewhere for floor mats in the Forte, the Civic includes standard mats to always ensure the cabin is as clean as possible.

Though length and width might not seem to matter, it actually affects the space within the cabin. That’s why the Civic is crafted to be 182.3 inches long and 70.8 inches wide, while the Forte is only 179.5 inches long and 70.1 inches wide. The Civic is still able to maintain a sleek, compact exterior, despite its bigger size, but you’ll be able to tell the difference when you open the door to the cabin. For stretching out in the front seat, you’ll want the Civic’s massive 42.3 inches of legroom over the Forte’s 42.2 inches of front leg space. From storing gym equipment, to carrying paperwork along with you from meeting to meeting, the Civic offers an expansive 15.1 cubic ft. of cargo room1 in the trunk, while the Forte fails you in this category with a mere 14.9 cubic ft. of space2. The battle between the 2017 Honda Civic vs 2017 Kia Forte near Washington, DC, heats up with the Civic clearly in the lead.

Moving on to the exterior and performance features, the Forte only offers a Rearview Camera3 as an optional addition, while the Civic’s Multi-Angle Rearview Camera4 comes standard on the base trim. Designed with steel wheels, the Forte can’t contend with the lightweight alloy wheels on the Civic. Thanks to an engine lineup that offers 158 horsepower and 138 lb.-ft. of torque, the Civic champions the Forte, which only exudes 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. This power does not compromise efficiency, however, as the Civic still generates a fuel rating of 28/40/32 MPG city/hwy/combined5, while the Forte merely pushes out a fuel rating of 25/34/28 MPG city/hwy/combined6.

As you can clearly see from this 2017 Honda Civic vs 2017 Kia Forte near Washington, DC, competition, the Civic is the obvious champion. Come on down to Honda of Chantilly to test drive this compact sedan as soon as today! We are located at 4175 Stonecroft Boulevard in Chantilly, VA.
